OK, so I thought I had these two weeks taken care of, content-wise. I traveled a lot this holiday season and made sure I would be home for a few days before the 1st so I could rustle up some content for the last three days of my vacation. What I didnât count on was being so wiped out. Iâve barely emailed or called anybody since I got home, so I havenât arranged any guests for the last three days. *Shrug* so I guess youâll all have to put up with some quick doodles from yours truly! See ya on the 5th!

SayerSong (from the boards) read about my predicament of running out of art and offered this little number! Thanks SayerSong! Thisâll give me some extra breathing room because I am back as of tomorrow! As a side note I believe any violence done unto Kiki would be because of uttering the phrase âmy badâ as the bottle of 151 rum appears to be one of those little airplane bottles. But thatâs just my theory.

So I was at a relativeâs house for thanksgiving keeping oven-watch over the turkey while sketching. One of my nieces watching a show called âSchool Rumble.â I have no idea what the anime was about but the 30 seconds of the episode I saw seemed to be composed of vapid girls in bathing suits at the beach and brainless guys staring at them and fainting. Anywho it inspired me to do todayâs sketch of ZoÃ« and Gwynn, and seemed a fitting cap to the week of Samâs return.

OK so I saw Watchmen today. And LOVED it! Iâd advise this, though. Donât see it until you read the graphic novel. Otherwise youâll only like the movie half as much as you would and youâll never be able to appreciate the masterpiece the graphic novel is. I actually only read it somewhat recently. Thanks Big Kev! ;)

This is technically only half the comic I intended for today, but my work-speed was grinding to a halt and I was burning out. So I apologize that this is only half the intended comic. I donât think this is a good solution, only better than running a filler comic mid-fall.

On “Sami” and “Urch”: Congratulations to Samantha and “Person Known Only As Urchin!” Samantha won our Dragon*Con SBG Sluggy Cameo contest in 2007 and it's taken THIS LONG for me to figure out a glorious way to kill her off. Similar to Thalia and Clint, Samantha wanted to gift the cameo to her friend Urchin and I decided (with her permission) I'd cameo them both. Wait a minute! They're not dead yet! Maybe in a twist they'll survive! Tune in tomorrow to find out!

The original version of the strip had the fish in the last panel singing “Swimming, swimming, keep on swimming, keep on swimming…” But I thought even if you’ve SEEN “Finding Nemo” you still might not get it. And no, the fish is not a reoccurring sentient new character. If fact, if I wasn’t racing the clock (and losing), I might have cut the last panel completely. Anywho, congratulations again to our cameo winners, and happy Friday the 13th everybody!

OK I had to do one more. I could not resist. I got this one from Tormuse on the reactions forums. Sure each character might not be a perfect analogy for a watchman character but SamDaMan-dias just rolls off the tongue too perfectly. thanks Tormuse!

I noticed a few comments on the Reactions Forums about what type of gun Bun-bun is currently wielding. I would like to say, for the record, Bun-bun calls it a "Glock". Are you going to correct him? To his face?
